EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide image transports us back in time to the enigmatic and historic land of Norway during the late 1890s. The scene before us is set at Balholm, where the mysterious King Bele's tomb lies hidden amongst the rolling hills and verdant landscapes. The photograph showcases a large, imposing stone marker, nestled at the base of a towering tree. The tree's trunk is encircled by a bench, inviting us to imagine the tales that have been shared beneath its protective canopy. The mound on which the marker sits is a testament to the rich history and mythology that permeates this land, steeped in the legends of the Vikings. King Bele, a legendary ruler from Norse mythology, is said to have been buried on this very spot. The exact details of his life and reign remain shrouded in mystery, adding to the allure of this site. The image invites us to ponder the stories and secrets that lie buried beneath the earth, waiting to be uncovered by those brave enough to seek them out. This photograph, taken in the late 1890s, offers us a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the world was a more mysterious and enchanting place. The tree, the marker, and the man sitting on the bench all serve as reminders of the passage of time and the enduring power of history to captivate and inspire us.
